SENATORS STRIKE A DEAL ON BACKGROUND CHECKS

[advocatusdiaboli]

That's my question? What internet sales are they referring to? Dealers?

In some states it seems, internet sales are not bg checked while I find that hard to believe they said it so...In CA they are as you must transfer through an FFL in CA and they run the check so we are already bg checked.

So, broadly, it adds checks to all gun show and internet sales. PPT are not subject to this amendment and Toomey made that clear.

Further we have a few wins there: when traveling across state lines, you are subject only to the laws of your home state and not the state you travel in. For example all those people being prosecuted in NY for concealed carry with permits their home state would be carrying lawfully. So it is a big step towards reciprocity.

We'll see if it passes and what is left or added by that time. This is early, but I could live with the amendment as they stated it as it takes a big step toward reciprocity.

Just like magazines are ammo.

Not one more inch. Sorry. Completely disinterested as NOTHING here or even currently on the books could stop the Adam Lanzas of the world from being nutjobs.

The gun legislation Reid wants the Senate to debate would extend the background check requirement to nearly all gun sales. Assuming the deal between Manchin and Toomey is completed, Reid would try to replace that language with their agreement once debate begins, a move that would require a vote.

The overall gun bill also tightens federal laws against illegal gun sales and slightly increases federal aid for school safety. A proposal to renew and expand the assault-weapons ban, along with a ban on high-capacity magazines, has been dropped from the main bill though it will likely get a vote as an amendment.

And yes, it looks like DiFi could try to amend her crap to this bill.

Where Joe Manchin is involved it is suspect.
Pat Toomey should hear from you.

Statement give them nothing!

This compromise would be a victory for Democrats. Any new anti-gun legislation that could become law erodes our rights. Doesn't matter if it affects us, in Calfornia or not. Every time anti-gunners get victory, large or small scale, is a loss for us. Republican senators that agree to this compromise, doesn't matter what NRA rating they have received, aren't allies.

Senators Cruz, Paul & Lee.... Filibuster this!!!!

Is this even a big deal for us in CA?

We in CA are already being checked to death!

[Window_Seat]

No CCW recip language in this bill. It still has to pass the House, no?

The Republican Senators didn't want themselves to be seen as not willing to take any action to address gun violence. I guess they chose the least of the poisons available to them.

I read that Schumer got the reciprocity part out of the deal

What practical application does what you are describing have - no more arrests at NYC area airports for people with firearms in their checked luggage?

[Window_Seat]

We want NO LTC Reciprocity in this bill!

THAT IS A GOOD THING... We don't want any pro-RKBA stuff in it so that it doesn't pass the House. No compromising, otherwise we LOSE.

We will not need Schumer for the next stand alone Thune carry reciprocity Bill that passes out of both chambers and hitches a ride onto a "must sign" bill.

Erik; still optimistic.

This has nothing to do with violence, it has nothing to do with school shootings, this has to do with freedom. Like i said, two wolves made a deal and freedom just got shoved in the oven.

From here: http://media.philly.com/documents/To...check_deal.pdf

Permits interstate handgun sales from dealers.

So we can now go out of state and buy handguns from dealers? Like in NV, AZ, OR or where ever you're travelling?
